Mega Edition: What Was Being Said In The Aftermath Of The Virginia/Andrew Settlement? (6/29/26)

David Boies, Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer, said the settlement with Prince Andrew did not protect Andrew from any possible criminal exposure and did not erase the seriousness of Giuffre’s allegations. Boies said the agreement would lead to the dismissal of the civil case once Giuffre received the settlement, and he emphasized that the resolution included a substantial donation by Andrew to Giuffre’s charity supporting victims’ rights. Giuffre had sued Andrew, saying she was trafficked to him by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 17; Andrew denied the allegation, but the settlement ended the civil case before he could be forced into a deposition or trial.Prince Andrew’s statement did not admit liability, but it did acknowledge Virginia Giuffre as an “established victim of abuse” and said he regretted his association with Epstein. Andrew also said he had never intended to malign Giuffre’s character, a major shift after months of his side challenging her credibility and trying to get the lawsuit dismissed. Giuffre, through the settlement, secured money for herself and her victims’ rights charity while forcing Andrew into a public statement that recognized Epstein’s abuse network and his own disastrous connection to it, even as he continued to deny wrongdoing.to contact me:[email protected]
